  • monetization
    644 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming number of ads that interrupt gameplay. While some players acknowledge the necessity of ads in a free-to-play model, many find the frequency and placement of these ads intrusive, often blocking essential game elements and making the game nearly unplayable. In-app purchases are also a point of contention, with some users feeling that the costs to unlock content are excessive, leading to a perception of the game as a "cash grab."

    • “Love the game, there are no ads and you're not forced to watch them unless you want to. You can buy countries for a reasonable price, and the Asia map price is fair.”
    • “This is probably the best strategy game on mobile, yet it has worse reviews. I think it is the best since it is playable without microtransactions and fun too.”
    • “In-app purchases are fairly priced, and the app isn't a massive drain on the battery.”
    • “The game is unplayable with the amount of ads.”
    • “The ads make this game almost unplayable, other than that fun game.”
    • “The excessive advertisements make the game almost unplayable.”
  • gameplay
    132 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of the game is generally well-received, with many players appreciating its strategic depth and mechanics, though some find it unrealistic and marred by intrusive ads and technical issues like lag and crashes. While the core mechanics are easy to learn and enjoyable, players express frustration over the lack of quality-of-life features, confusing controls, and the impact of ads on the overall experience. Overall, the game offers a fun and engaging strategy experience, but improvements are needed to enhance playability and reduce interruptions.

    • “I love the upgrade mechanic, and all the different types of reinforcements, and being able to continue after the objective is all great.”
    • “The gameplay is solid and I love the music.”
    • “The gameplay is fun.”
    • “Ads interrupt gameplay every time you want to buy troops.”
    • “The long gameplay makes you very invested and the fact you can lose it in an instant brings a lot of stress. I wouldn't recommend anyone download this; it isn't good for your anxiety or your health.”
    • “Game is catastrophically broken, regularly crashes, game mechanics are primitive, completely unoriginal and infuriating. The game is impossible to play without microtransactions (overpriced).”
  • story
    99 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is primarily driven by a mission-based structure that players find repetitive and often frustrating, with many missions perceived as nearly impossible to complete. While there is a wide variety of units and playable countries, unlocking them requires extensive gameplay and often involves in-app purchases, which detracts from the overall experience. Players express a desire for a more accessible and engaging narrative, suggesting the addition of a sandbox mode or clearer mission objectives to enhance gameplay.

    • “Amazing great graphics and storyline where the line between evil and good is amazingly blurred but it does crash from time to time.”
    • “I played the mission where you are supposed to occupy Latvia and Estonia as the USSR and ended up taking Europe in a 21-year war!”
    • “Hoping for... like a story mode?”
    • “The method to unlock other countries (beating all objectives for all free countries) sounds easy, until you realize there are like 50 missions to complete, just to unlock the next tier of missions, at which point you have to beat the next tier of missions in order to get the free unlock.”
    • “Some missions are pretty much impossible to complete though.”
    • “I don't know why this game is called 'sandbox' because I need to play the quests to unlock countries or missions. The first thing I thought about this game is that I could play in my style, like I can play in every country I want to conquer the world, but if you can't do that, please add 'sandbox mode' and this game will be awesome.”
  • stability
    89 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is a significant concern among users, with frequent reports of freezing, crashing, and lagging during gameplay. Many players experience interruptions due to ads, which exacerbate the issues, making the game nearly unplayable at times. While some users note improvements after updates, the overall consensus is that the game suffers from persistent bugs and performance problems that detract from the experience.

    • “Besides some frame drops when you end your turn, it runs great.”
    • “Personally, with my experience on the HTC 816, it runs great and does not use too much battery.”
    • “This game is pretty cool; no glitches, no problems installing, and I love the authentic WW2 troops.”
    • “Overall, it's a great game, but I do have one problem: when I have exactly 11 USA infantry at Berlin, the game just freezes. When I get back in, all of my saved games are gone.”
    • “Great game, really great, but it freezes so often that it's completely unplayable.”
    • “The game is solid, no doubt that it's great, but the problem is that once I reach a certain point during one game, it freezes and quits. Luckily, I manage to play again, but when it loads the same game again, it quits.”
  • graphics
    69 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the graphics in the game receive mixed reviews from users. While some players appreciate the visuals and find them enjoyable, many express concerns about lag, low resolution, and the need for improvements.

    • “Great tactics and graphics, liked it very much.”
    • “The graphics are nice, the AI feels competent, and the overall concept is well developed.”
    • “This game is awesome; the only reason I don't give 5 stars is because of the graphics.”
    • “The game is ok, but the fact that graphics are extremely laggy, and it's hard to zoom in or out, or to just scroll around the map, kind of ruins it.”
    • “Worst game ever, its graphics are crazy; they are so bad.”
    • “This game has worse graphics than the World Conqueror series, and they bombard you with pop-up ads!”
  • music
    26 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is widely praised for enhancing the overall experience, with many players expressing a strong affinity for the soundtrack, particularly the Soviet and Axis themes. However, issues such as music cutting out during ads, repetitive tracks, and a desire for more variety have been noted. Overall, while the music contributes positively to the game's atmosphere, players are seeking improvements and additional tracks.

    • “The gameplay is solid and I love the music.”
    • “Soundtrack makes it more addicting.”
    • “Music adds to the atmosphere and has a sinister tune to it.”
    • “The music sometimes cuts out.”
    • “Every time I asked for reinforcements, it would play an ad and even shut my background music off... so annoying.”

  • optimization
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The optimization of the game has received mixed reviews, with many users reporting significant performance issues such as lag, unresponsiveness, and crashes, particularly on lower-end devices. While some players noted improvements after updates, the overall sentiment suggests that the game requires further optimization to enhance gameplay experience and reduce technical problems.

    • “Could be better optimized since my phone struggles at times.”
    • “The last update has definitely improved performance...but it still crashes eventually.”

  • replayability
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game is praised for its high replayability, with many users noting the variety of objectives and the sense of achievement from unlocking new content. However, some players express frustration over the need for in-game purchases to access all missions and factions, which can limit the experience. Despite this, the game is still considered entertaining and worth playing for its replay value.

    • “The different objectives give great replay value and a sense of achievement when unlocking new countries and objectives.”
    • “Very entertaining with lots of replay value.”
    • “This adds nearly infinite replayability.”
    • “This game is okay, but Herocraft, can you please add the ability to make alliances and diplomacy options? It would expand the gameplay even more with more playable situations.”
    • “The lack of variety in missions makes it hard to want to replay the game after finishing it once.”
    • “Once you complete the main storyline, there isn't much incentive to go back and play again.”
  • grinding
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious, as objectives often require completing one task at a time, leading to repetitive gameplay. While the overall quality and enjoyment of the game are praised, the grind can detract from the experience, especially when compounded by issues like data loss and waiting times between rounds.

    • “Like for example, one objective is to capture Paris and another different objective is to conquer 30 provinces, but it's so annoying that I can only complete one objective at a time, making it so grindy.”
    • “Gets a little tedious after a while.”
    • “It's just tedious.”
  • humor
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is a mixed bag; while some players find it genuinely funny and appreciate the comedic elements of the AI interactions and historical scenarios, others view the game's humor as more of a marketing gimmick than a core feature. Overall, it elicits laughter for some, but not all players find it engaging or entertaining.

    • “The whole concept of the game is a hilarious joke for advertising purposes.”
    • “You can shape history how you want to, and witness hilarious things happen with the AI nations.”

    • “The attempts at humor are cringeworthy and detract from the overall experience.”
  • atmosphere
